Tweet TweetNot wanting to miss out on a very important event in the North American automotive calendar Kia came to SEMA with what seems to be a very playful attitude. I’m saying this because the Koreans prepared two versions of the Kia Sportage for SEMA that they called the Work and the Play. This target customer is so defined because the Kia Sportage Work has tan leather seats, custom carpeting and then you enter a pretty impressive list of toys, executive equipment such as a Memphis audio system, a Droid X docking station and a couple of iPads. That’s pretty “standard” custom interior work but the following additions don’t really make much sense for the user description. The Kia Sportage Work also has full closet and dressing station that offers up everything from electric razors to a shoe rack. That was slightly weird to find out, but happily you can get away from it and find the Kia Sportage Play somewhat more interesting 20-inch MRR HR4 wheels, a … [Read more...] about Kia Sportage having a Work & Play attitude at SEMA

Today we want to share with you a new information about the next-generation 2016 Kia Sportage (codenamed as QL). According to South Korean sources, the 2016 Kia Sportage will debut in September, a few months after due to the launch of the new Tucson. Since launched in 2010, the third generation Kia Sportage (also called Sportage R in South Korea) was a total hit for Kia. With an amazing design, the Sportage surprised everyone and increased Kia brand image around the world. The new 2016 Kia Sportage will resemble a lot of the design showed in the chinese only Kia KX3, especially the front end. Inside, the Sportage will follow what we have already seen into the new Sorento. According to the report, Kia design team already finished Sportage’s design. At the front on this prototype we can see a bigger Tiger-nose tri-dimensional front grille between new wrap-around headlamps and ice-cubed LED lights, like in the new Sorento or pro_cee’d GT, but at the same time, Kia … [Read more...] about All-New 2016 Kia Sportage to Debut in September

Naza Kia Malaysia has launched the 2016 Kia Sportage in Malaysia. The five-seater SUV – which premiered in Frankfurt last September – made its official debut in the country earlier this morning alongside the new Kia Sorento. Two front-wheel drive variants of the fourth-generation QL will be sold here. These are a high-spec GT Line version – previewed in a gallery post yesterday and seen here again – and a base KX Line model. Both are powered by the solitary engine choice that’s available for our market, a 2.0 litre Nu MPI four-cylinder petrol unit, and this is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Output numbers from the D-CVVT twin-cam NA mill are 155 PS at 6,200 rpm and 192 Nm at 4,000 rpm. Dimension-wise, the new car is similar in size to the outgoing third-gen SL – at 4,480 mm, it’s marginally longer by 40 mm, but the 1,855 mm width and 1,635 mm height are identical to that of the old car. The wheelbase is however 30 mm longer … [Read more...] about 2016 Kia Sportage introduced in Malaysia

As promised, Naza Kia Malaysia (NKM) has introduced a diesel variant of the Sportage SUV. The new Kia Sportage 2.0 AWD GT CRDi joins the GT Line and KX Line 2.0 litre Nu MPI petrol versions that have been available since mid 2016. The two existing petrol variants are front-wheel driven, so the new diesel is the sole “Dynamax AWD” option in the local range. With all-wheel drive and in sporty GT Line trim, the 2.0 AWD GT CRDi is in fact the highest spec combo available for the Sportage QL, even in Europe. UPDATE: Live gallery of the Sportage 2.0 AWD GT CRDi added Our Sportage CRDi is powered by a 2.0 litre turbodiesel engine in the highest available state of tune, which is 185 PS and 400 Nm of torque from 1,750 to 2,750 rpm (there’s also a 134 hp/373 Nm version in Europe). The oil burner is mated to a six-speed conventional automatic gearbox. The CRDi should be significantly livelier to drive than its petrol sibling, which pushes out 155 PS and 192 Nm at 4,000 rpm. … [Read more...] about Kia Sportage GT CRDi diesel now in Malaysia, RM160k

The 2016 Kia Sportage has been unveiled in the flesh at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. The fourth-generation contender to the likes of the Mazda CX-5, Honda CR-V and Hyundai Tucson has much to offer aside from its avant-garde styling. While the Kia Sportage in GT Line trim has already been seen prior to this, we now have a full look at the entire Sportage range. As a whole, the Sportage comes with an all-new face that some might argue lends it a look that is all too similar to a certain German SUV. Up front, the new “tiger nose” grille is now separated from the boomerang-shaped headlights. Other changes include a larger insert for the fog lights. In addition to that, the new Sportage is bigger in size compared to its predecessor. At the rear, it receives sharper LED rear lights that are linked to one another via a chrome trim – beneath which lies a red reflector strip. Distinguishing the Sportage GT Line from the rest of the range are the “ice cube” fog … [Read more...] about Frankfurt 2015: 2016 Kia Sportage unveiled in the flesh

Naza Kia Malaysia has streamlined its Kia Sportage line-up in the country – the company has announced the introduction of a Sportage 2.0L EX variant, which goes on sale alongside the Sportage 2.0L GT CRDi diesel AWD. The two two wheel-drive variants that introduced the fourth-gen QL in Malaysia back in 2016, the 2.0L KX and 2.0L GT Line, have been discontinued. No change to the petrol powertrain, the Sportage 2.0L EX being equipped with a 2.0 litre Nu MPI four-cylinder, which is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Output figures remain the same, with 155 PS at 6,200 rpm and 192 Nm at 4,000 rpm available from the mill. The 2.0L EX gets a new design five twin-spoke 18-inch machine-finished alloy wheels, and standard equipment for the five-seat SUV includes front and rear parking sensors, a rain sensor and auto folding side mirrors. Also on, keyless entry, push start ignition and fully automatic air-conditioning, and the variant also comes with an electrochromic auto … [Read more...] about Kia Sportage 2.0L EX introduced in Malaysia

Some may love it while others might hate it, though on whichever side of the aesthetics fence one may sit, the looks of the Kia Sportage surely offer some talking points. Here in 2.0 CRDi diesel guise with the same GT Line trim as the petrol variant that came before it, Kia’s C-segment crossover goes up against the likes of the Mazda CX-5 and Honda CR-V. At RM155,356 on the road without insurance, the diesel Sportage is slightly cheaper than its rivals from Mazda (RM175,179 for the 2.2D AWD GLS) and Honda (RM167,700 for the 1.5L Turbo Premium 2WD), though it also does without the active driver assistance the other two have, i-Activsense and Honda Sensing respectively. As our man Matthew Tong discovers in the video, the diesel powerplant which offers 185 PS and 400 Nm of torque is smooth, effortless, and ultimately the choice of Sportage powertrain to go for, especially in contrast with the petrol version’s outputs of 155 PS and 192 Nm of torque. Kia’s claimed combined … [Read more...] about FIRST DRIVE: Kia Sportage 2.0L GT CRDi video review
